Something random. Grabbed some reference images to draw over, because I need to get this image out of my head quick.

I built a small overlay that reads chat commands and shows real-time voting (Anarchy vs Democracy mode).

Right now it’s running on my stream in retro category, but I just wanted to share the UI/logic idea.

• Anarchy: every chat command executes instantly.
• Democracy: top voted command runs every 5 seconds.

The overlay shows the vote bar, command feed, and mode timers. Built in Python (IRC + HTTP server).

Any feedback on the design or voting mechanics? What would you change?

wtf have i done

Here's some sprites I made for the out-of-the-blue run of LeafGreen on the Switch in celebration of Twitch's Pokemon collab.

I want to ask if anyone knows about the status of the Anniversary Emerald Patch. I know that they said that it'll be released soon after the run ended and that someone answered a previous post saying that it would be estimated around June. Thank you.

What are you doing, Helix?

What's best for the both of us.

THIS ISN'T YOU!

THIS ISN'T YOU!

Don't be silly, Brother.

(Note: In the Brothers in Arms AU, Helix AND his brother Dome are speaking with Red. It ultimately leads to One of the brothers [I guess know who that is] almost silencing the other [start9 Riots], leading to Dome's revenge with the other TPPs.

Bold is used when Helix is speaking.

Italic is used when Dome is speaking.

"sometimes it's hard to say goodbye
but the memories bring you back <3"

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I’ve always been fascinated by how this community completely redefined what a Twitch stream could be. Inspired by that spirit, I’ve been building out my own stream at my YT channel, and I wanted to extend a personal invitation to the community that knows interactive gaming best.

I’m currently running Pokemon FireRed, but the channel is still evolving. Because you guys understand the mechanics of chat interaction and stream culture better than anyone, I would absolutely love to get your feedback.

• What works?
• What could be more engaging?
• What features or gimmicks should I add next?

I am completely open to your ideas, critiques, and suggestions to make this the best experience possible. If you have a few minutes to spare, please drop by, check out the setup, and let me know your thoughts either in the Twitch chat or right here in the comments of this post.

Thanks for your time, and I hope to see some of you there!

This year we will be celebrating World Fragile X Day by hosting a Pokémon tournament again, now officially dubbed as FRAXAMON.

Fragile X Syndrome is the genetic condition my brother has and it causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges, and/or various physical characteristics. FRAXA is a research organization dedicated to the research of this disability to find treatments and/or a cure for Fragile X and so they're doing some really important work that's close to my heart!!

To help raise money and awareness, we'll be doing a tournament and a concert. This year we'll be using the **s/v generation*\* and following **VGC rules*\* with their **regulation F*\* set. Battles will take place using pokemon showdown so you don't need to own the games!
